Eagle I

Eagle-I is the industry leading cut plate inspection system for float glass, offering full conveyor coverage for mainline, side leg and offline applications. It allows for the automatic inspection and rejection of all bad glass to user-defined tolerances with minimal operator intervention.

Eagle-I+ extends functionality to a fully redundant configuration at optimal cost in a minimum of space.

Cut plate inspection tests include:

Dimensional verification of widthand lengthSquareness errorsPlates skewed on the conveyorBroken or missing platesSnap failsCorner and edge defectsShells and flares detection on bothtop and bottom surfacesFault marksBenefits:

AG inspection system

MIRRORED GLASS INSPECTIONAG provides full cut plate inspection capabilities as per the Eagle-I system, but is optimised to also allow for pinhole detection in mirrored glass. Defects may be detected in the silver layer both paint layers.

Mirrored glass inspection tests include:

Verify glass integrityPinhole detection in the silver layerbefore any base coats are appliedPaint defect detection in either paint layerBenefits:

The system is available in a range of configurations using either trundling or static cameras to provide full conveyor coverage or point readings. The modular design and tight hardware/software integration employed within the IQ system ensures that the required functionality for interleavant powder coverage measurement is delivered at an optimal cost.

IQ offers the following features:

Detailed visual data with real-time measurement displayData and statistics across time rangesFull integration with plant control equipment and plant networksFeedback to plant to allow closed loop control of powder applicators

About us

Company details

Inspection Systems has worked in float glass inspection since the late 1980s and the Eagle-I system was one of the first cut plate glass inspection systems brought to market. We now have over 80 automated vision systems across 6 continents, serving clients such as the Pilkington NSG Group, Guardian Industries Corp, Cardinal FG, AGC North America and the PFG Group.

Our equipment is integrated to plant from companies such as Grenzebach, Bottero, Bystronic and the ICAP Group and offers functionality ranging from the measurement of powder particles to jumbo plates and from the automatic rejection of bad glass to robot stacking of good glass.
